Nicole Kidman: I’ve never had plastic surgery – and botox is in the past

Nicole Kidman claims she has never gone under a surgeon’s knife, despite being dubbed the frozen face of Hollywood.

The porcelain white star also insists her anti-ageing Botox injections are in the past.

‘I didn’t like it, so I’ve gone back to my own forehead. But I’ve never had plastic surgery on my face. People say I have but I haven’t,’ she says.

Turning to her love life, the 43-year-old tells Marie Claire magazine that her split from husband Tom Cruise in 2001 left her ‘really damaged’.

Searching for a silver lining, she says: ‘We were very, very tight and that’s why we lasted ten years, which is a good amount of time, particularly when you get married at 23. That was a great relationship. I think it ran its course.’

The Rabbit Hole actress also reveals that a helicopter scare put her life in perspective.

‘The engine stopped. The pilot panicked, people panicked, but I just went, “OK, this is what’s going to be. Please don’t make it too painful,”’ Kidman reveals.

‘I love it when I surprise myself and see what I’m made of.’

However, she won’t be drawn on her attitude towards drugs. Asked if she has dabbled with magic mushrooms, she says: ‘I refuse to answer that! I’ll see it on the cover of the next tabloid. But sure, I’ve lived my life.’
